Today in Disney History

September 22, 1950

Foodie Friday: Anandapur Yak & Yeti Restaurant - Fried Wontons

I must confess, one Walt Disney World dessert that I constantly crave is the Fried Wontons from the Yak & Yeti Restaurant at Animal Kingdom. In our 5 trips to Walt Disney World we've eaten at Yak & Yeti for 4 of them. The only reason it hasn't been 5 out of 5 is that the restaurant didn't even exist on our first trip! Out of those 4 visits I've ordered the wontons as my dessert 3 times. The only time I did not order them I so regretted it that I almost ordered a second dessert! I mean, what is more yummy than cream cheese filled wontons, grilled pineapple, vanilla sauce, strawberries and homemade vanilla ice cream?!?

Thursday Trivia: Fun Fact

Did You Know That...

On the Mary Poppins 40th anniversary DVD commentary, Dick Van Dyke revealed that after they did the makeup test for his part as Mr. Dawes, the bank president, he went for a walk on the Disney backlot. Spying a tourist tour bus, he tried out his “stepping-down routine” on the curb, and inched his way across the street, causing the tour bus to wait for him until he reached the other side. As the bus drove off, he waited a few seconds before breaking out into a sprint, running alongside the bus in full old-man makeup, his cane gripped in his hand.

Wordless Wednesday: Villains in Vogue

Tall Tale Tuesday: Disney's Paul Bunyan

I don't know WHY I forgot about the Disney cartoon versions of the various tall tales I grew up learning. I think my brain must just be suffering information overload (or something). Thankfully though, I "remembered" when I did a Google search! I hope you enjoy rediscovering this video as much as I did. :o)

Musical Monday: The Bare Necessities
